1 | believing and being born again? | John 3:16 | julcol87 | 227909 | ||
Hello to all I need help with understanding something about a couple scriptures in John. It says in John 3:16 "whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." For example my grandma is a Catholic, and if all she would need to do is believe in Jesus to have eternal life, what about being born again? John 3:3 says "unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." So what if she believes, but is not born again? Can someone explain to me how that works..? Thanks to all Julia |

I've always found that confusing as well. I think that everyone is born again in Christ (when we believe in him -we are born again). To be surely saved, one has to admit their sins and repent. Then, they must believe in Christ and that God raised him from the dead. Also, one has to open one's heart so Jesus can come in. Lastly, one has to choose and be ready to live as a child of God. Hope this helps, soconfusedinthisworld |

From my research, Basically there are two schools of thought on this matter . One is Calvinism and the other is Armenianism. Both are based on Scripture, but their conclusions diverge dramatically. 'Calvinism emphasizes the Sovereignty of God and His Divine Prerogative. Armenianism stresses man's free will and responsibility. The doctrine of unconditional eternal security accepts the Calvinistic perspective and states that once a person has been saved and accepts the atoning Blood of Jesus Christ, he can never be lost afterward no matter what he might do. The Armenian view is that man has a free will and it is the free will of man that determines his condition. According to his free will, he determined to accept Christ when the Holy Spirit moved on his heart. As well, free will coupled with the Grace of God maintains his position in Christ; however, if he so desires, God forbid, he can, through his free will, elect to cease believing what got him in, which is Faith in Christ and what Christ did at the Cross. If that happens he will revert from a saved condition to a lost condition. | ||||||

I have a friend who accepted christ 2 years ago. Now, she claims to be a atheist and doesn't go to church. She never said she didn't believe in christ anymore though. Do you think she is going to heaven? | ||||||

Read Luke 8:4-18, and then ask yourself: Which kind of soil bore fruit? Is your friend like that, or like the other soils? | ||||||

I think my friend is the verse 14 seed. Nevertheless, I will try to bring her back to Christ. | ||||||
